1st August is usually the start of the quiet season, not much happens, and the day started quietly as expected. Until…
Lost from Chicago
Two guys from Chicago, Andy and Theaumas, were visiting Antwerp’s De Koninck brewery about 5 minutes from my slightly smaller one. But they wanted to go for the real craft beer event and visit Ginger Tipple, which they had discovered on Google Maps. They were a bit lost finding us, and were talking to a neighbor when my wife, Shifra, walked past and rescued them.
They wanted to tour the brewery, which takes about 93 seconds. The tasting takes a lot longer. They were overawed by our brews and especially enjoyed the pre-launch tasting of ‘The Strongest Ginger Beer in the World” and are looking forwarding to buying Ginger Tipple in the USA.
The Political Visit
Soon after they left, the next visitors came. This time it was Flemish politico Kristof Luypaert and his Duvel loving friend Natalie. Kristof heard about the brewery from my wife, Shifra, when he was out campaigning a few months ago.
They were astounded by the novel sensations on their taste buds and spent over an hour enjoying 6 different types of Tipples, especially our exclusive Ginger Kriek. There is only one bottle left of the 2018 vintage; this year’s production is bubbling away.
